Hello! I'm a 2D artist from Canada, working in the animation industry. I have been working in animation studios since 2018, as well as teaching part-time character design and digital painting since 2023. I also have experience creating assets for indie games and animatics, as well as assets and thumbnails for Youtubers (most recently Mythical Entertainment). My previous career was in environmental science, with a focus in bird and insect research, so I can bring a lot of unique perspectives to the team! I absolutely love drawing and can adapt to most styles, given enough reference and feedback. Thank you!
